Degree Programs in Biotechnology

The program leading to the Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Biotechnology prepares students to work as scientists in applied fields such as pharmaceutical, diagnostic, agricultural, and environmental. The rapid expansion of biotechnology requires students to develop broad-based skills and abilities in information technology, basic science, and mathematics along with specialized topics such as molecular biology, cellular control mechanisms, genomics, and proteomics.

Students with appropriate backgrounds who already hold bachelor of science degrees in other fields can earn a B.S. degree in Biotechnology through a 30-credit post-baccalaureate program. Students with appropriate backgrounds and associate in science degrees can earn a B.S. degree in Biotechnology through a 62-credit capstone program.
